i hardly watch TV, but am in need of a desktop. I thought if I got a TV, I could save money and use it as a monitor also. What do you think?

The first two responders are both right and the only thing I need to add though is to be aware that computer monitors today usually have some high resolution displays. For instance, our iMac runs at 1920-by-1200 resolution and there are monitors that go even higher.
My caution is that you are not going to get that sort of resolution out of a TV and most especially if you use some of the lower quality connection methods. So make sure you check the owners manual with the TV to see what resolutions it actually supports.
YES YOU CAN! BUT you need make sure your Television has the same ports on the back to support to output ports on your video card. Forinstance, My video card supports S-video, so I can use a TV with an S-video port. Also, Some TV´s that are LCD support VGA and other computer formats…. The best way to find out if your computer is compatible is looking at the ports on the back of your TV and comparing them with the back of your computer… if you see two that are alike, then they are compatible.
Yes you can take a Big monitor and use it as a TV also when ever you can and you can even add a TV tuner card in your PC.
yeah mate ….get a v.g.a cable from your local computer shop an link them up together…. then use your fn button and f4 button to transfer your image from your pc to your LCD tv ………….easy
